...stick to get East Timor's resources," he says. "Even though we are in the castle and they are in the shanty, we still won't go to arbitration. For Australians, that's shorthand for the government doing the wrong thing." "We all want to see East Timor prosper," says an Australian diplomat involved in the country's march to freedom.

Even as they wage a full-blown counterinsurgency war against the Sunni insurgents, U.S. officials in Iraq will be anxiously watching the complex political interplay among the Shiites in the coming months. A U.S.-authored political order in Iraq is unlikely to prosper or even survive unless it is wholeheartedly embraced by the Shiites. Which suggests that much now rides on how Grand Ayatollah Sistani chooses to respond to the decision by Bremer and the IGC to proceed without elections...
